Wendy Fulenwider creates works on paper and canvas. Through a close
study of nature, she explores the relationship between the constraints
of drawing and the loose, gestural marks of painting. She has studied
in the Fine Arts Certificate program at Duke University, the New York
Studio School and is currently pursuing a Fine Arts degree at Hunter
College. Wendy currently lives and works in New York City.

These comments from Saatchi Online:
Fulenwider’s paintings and works on paper, all luminous natural and urban landscapes, approach the formal constraints of representation with an abstractionist’s eye. While respecting the flatness of the picture plane, she engages with the organic, plastic nature of her materials. Through the repetition, order, and lyricism of floating marks of various size and gesture, there develops an overlap of translucent and opaque layers of paint, and cohesion of a close palette of colors. A strong internal drawing structure holds the relaxed, expressive external features of the work.

Gallery Exibit History
About the Mary Jo Rines Gallery At First Parish
The Gallery At First Parish opened September 17, 2000.
On September 13, 2011, the Standing Committee voted to name the Gallery in
honor of its founder,
Mary Jo Rines, who died on September 4, 2011. A
special exhibit of Mary Jo’s work was on display
in the Gallery from
September 20 – September 30, 2011.
Its purpose, as described by the founders:
The mission of The Gallery At First Parish is to add another dimension
to the spiritual fabric of our lives by exhibiting the work of visual artists
who seek to contribute to a deeper understanding of the human condition.
The Gallery is intended to be a service to the parish, the artist and the
wider community.
It is open to the public without charge 9 AM – 4 PM weekdays, and
9 AM – 12:30 PM Sundays.
Interested parties may also call the Church Office (781-893-7798) for
other possible viewing times.
Exhibits are listed in the First Parish
Event Calendar.
